- alpha_trion 3mo agoWhere does it source its data from? Depending on the delay this may either be highly useful or not at all.
- hmokiguess 3mo agothis looks neat, what's the data source and latency?
- tolugenius 3mo agoWas just about to ask on data sourcing, I imagine yfinance is used but can't really tell for anything else (like for prediction markets or news data).
- crossthestreams 3mo agoLooks like Yahoo and the SEC for filings: https://github.com/gloom-sh/gloomberb/tree/cd82b5c61a8d0eb0d3160a7c578e101387527b77/src/sources https://github.com/gloom-sh/gloomberb/tree/cd82b5c61a8d0eb0d...
- ComputerPerson 3mo agoWhich is not great for history, right? Seems like a real detractor. You pretty much need $30/m subscriptions for historical data. Not that it couldn't be worked into this.
- TZubiri 3mo agoWhat I pressume is the text for "Gloomberg" in the Hero header looks very fucked up https://imgur.com/a/ssiKckF https://imgur.com/a/ssiKckF Hopefully it's not intentional

- nhinck2 3mo agoHow much intent can you ascribe to any of this?

- u8 3mo agoHow well do you think their terminal works if they couldn't even spend the time to clean up their vibe coded website?
- dpmartinez 3mo ago> How well do you think their terminal works if they couldn't even spend the time to clean up their vibe coded website? Your website is literally down. https://i.postimg.cc/YCdkwZZq/image.png https://i.postimg.cc/YCdkwZZq/image.png And I don't think their website is that bad.
- KomoD 3mo ago> And I don't think their website is that bad. The download button doesn't even work properly. Clicking download in the top right gives me a .dmg, the other download button in the hero gives me the .exe, the one in the footer gives me a .dmg Docs give me a 404, blog is empty
- dpmartinez 3mo ago> The download button doesn't even work properly. Clicking download in the top right gives me a .dmg, the other download button in the hero gives me the .exe, the one in the footer gives me a .dmg I mean, it works for me? The site is clearly not ready and maybe they didn't expect people to find it, but that doesn't mean the site is bad. It is just a work in progress. I'm not even interested in the site anyway the software and the source interests me more. https://github.com/gloom-sh/gloomberb https://github.com/gloom-sh/gloomberb
- KomoD 3mo ago> I mean, it works for me? Doesn't invalidate my experience. > and maybe they didn't expect people to find it What do you mean? It's linked on the Github repo. > but that doesn't mean the site is bad. I think a site that doesn't work properly is a bad one. That's just my opinion.
- ghjv 3mo agolooks fine on my machine
- cwnyth 3mo agoLooks fine on my end (Firefox).
- timcobb 3mo agowhat platform is that? looks fine on mine
- KomoD 3mo agoYeah, looks totally broken on my machine too.
- u8 3mo agoYeah... people aren't paying Bloomberg $31,980 per year for a TUI. They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections.
- minimaltom 3mo agoI mean look at the name... this seems more like a fun quip than a product. I'm over here basking in the glow of dem vibes.
- mushufasa 3mo agoCorrect. Also, Bloomberg has messaging for traders that is actually an important network effect in certain domains.
- hmokiguess 3mo agoCan you elaborate on the network effect piece? Curious about that
- lesam 3mo agoIt's really useful to have a chat app that is gatekept behind a 20k/year+ subscription. It's a particularly useful signal if someone is offering you a million+ dollar asset for sale.
- hmokiguess 3mo agoI get that, was more curious if you knew how much that is used for signaling and the traffic there. I sort of expected these communities to exist in other sources (like regular SMS / Slack / private back channels etc).
- brendoelfrendo 3mo agoI'm going to copy-paste one of the comments from ryukoposting higher up in the thread because I think it's relevant here: > 2) Bloomberg's chat is important because, as a hedge fund or investment bank, the chat is how you buy and sell bonds. You agree to the trade in the chat, then tell the back office folks to execute the trade. Direct quote: "I'd wager 90% of the ~400 trillion in annual bond trading value happens over Bloomberg DM" You may discuss trades via SMS or Slack; maybe you're important enough that you have a broker, and you send them your idea. But the broker at the investment bank is probably handling those trades via Blomberg terminal. That's the network effect: all the bankers are in Bloomberg chat, and it is therefore the easiest place to find who owns an asset and negotiate a trade.
- gymbeaux 3mo agoWhen I see new software now, my first thought is an LLM wrote it and it makes me not want to use it. I also assume there are bugs and it’s not particularly feature-rich.
- ahahs 3mo agomy first thoughts too.
- MyHonestOpinon 3mo agoIt is becoming very hard not to use an LLM. I have been working on a project all this year. I started doing everything by hand, and I am using LLMs a little bit more every day. I suppose we want to use projects that were crafted with care, whether or not LLMs were used. But it is not easy to figure that out. It reminds me. 30 years ago, before code formatters were popular, you could tell good code just by looking at how carefully formatted it was.
- AlexeyBelov 3mo ago> It is becoming very hard not to use an LLM. How? It's not like it accidentally installs itself onto your machine and runs itself, or injects itself into your projects without you knowing.
- janlukacs 3mo agosame and for some reason people are downvoting. why would we use vibecoded stuff with sensitive information?
- dewey 3mo agoWhat’s sensitive about displaying public information in pretty graphs?
- deleted 3mo ago[deleted]
- m0k167eh 3mo ago
- charv 3mo agoAn aside - do tools like this (or what it's modeling, the Bloomberg Terminal) really offer that much benefit to finance folks?
- Retr0id 3mo agoBloomberg Terminal costs ~$24K per user per year, so the fact that people are paying for it implies it offers at least that much value. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, most of that value lies in the data sources.
- elictronic 3mo agoHere's an article. Basically if your trading stocks no. If you are trading different instruments or want interaction with the money folks (connections) yes. https://financetracked.com/bloomberg-terminal https://financetracked.com/bloomberg-terminal From it: "Bonds and Fixed Income: It provides the best data for interest rates and debt markets. Global Economics: It easily connects data from different countries, such as currency rates and government debt. The Chat Room: The messaging system is the industry standard. If you want to talk to the biggest players in the market, you often need to be on Bloomberg."
- Ntrails 3mo agoDepends a bit how you're trading stocks - bbg is still an extremely attractive data provider so I'd not dismiss them out of hand.
- elictronic 3mo agoThere are alternatives that cost much less than 30k per year for just stocks. They need to prove their value proposition for that more generalized use case. My dismissal is their problem to solve.

- andreypk 3mo agoInteresting project, the view looks like gpui based interface, but source code say that it is web based interface written on typescript
- deleted 3mo ago[deleted]
- rdiddly 3mo agoUseful on its own merits. Everybody who's distracted by the name and can't get past it, there's a thread developing here somewhere, where they're comparing it to Bloomberg.
- brendoelfrendo 3mo agoYeah, I think a few of the widgets here are neat and useful. It's not a Bloomberg replacement, but it might be a good replacement for a few tabs? You could get the info elsewhere, but I like this presentation more. Edit: Ah, they're offering a pro subscription. While I appreciate that cloud services aren't free, I'm not sure that I'm willing to pay to replace a few browser tabs. Not for me, but maybe for someone!
- ynac 3mo ago100% agree. It's a fun name, but it ends up begging the comparison. The look and feel of it was an instant download for me. It's actually exactly what I want and even tried / failed to build on my own for years. I'll be supporting this project.
- nancyminusone 3mo agothe name makes it seem like it only delivers bad news
- justsid 3mo agoI definitely assumed it was a Bloomberg terminal for doom scrollers.
- rdiddly 3mo agoYes and with an avian messenger
- Revanche1367 3mo agoVery fitting then!
- rbanffy 3mo agoIt’s not really their fault. It’s just the world we live in.
- sigmonsays 3mo agoThis post / OP really needs to say if it's AI SLOP or not and to what extent. This looks like AI slop.
- jeffbee 3mo agoAny "TUI" you've seen in the past few years is 100% vide-coded slop.
- dpmartinez 3mo agoCurious what you consider those that aren't 100% 'slop', aside from the common ones. Because I'm starting to see the word 'slop' as a synonym for: "This person may or may not have used AI to build software and I don't like it"
- jeffbee 3mo agoSlop is slop when the author could not have done it without the AI. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_koan#:~:text=%E2%80%9C-,A%20novice,-was%20trying%20to https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_koan#:~:text=%E2%80...
- dpmartinez 3mo agoRight but it doesn't answer my question about what you don't consider a slop TUI though. > Slop is slop when the author could not have done it without the AI. For Vim (1.) and Linux's AI adoption policies, there are some contributors who couldn't have made a PR / patch without AI. Are Vim and Linux now considered slop because they allow AI contributions? (1.) https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#using-ai https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#using...
- jeffbee 3mo agoI would say this is a fair question, and that slop can be laundered when there are multiple collaborators and at least one of them knows what they are doing. Whereas a monograph written entirely by Claude is always just slop.
- slowin 3mo agoI really wish people would mention their stack when they have these curl install scripts. I'd rather use a real package manager, but I'm not totally against installing a compiled binary this way. I am, 100%, not going to install some Java/Type-script nightmare like this though. How is it resolving the dependencies? Is it installing some version of node, bun... on my machine? How's that working with other versions I have installed? Related: please don't write command line tools in non-compiled languages! Don't make the runtime your user's problem.
- bobajeff 3mo agoI know where you're coming from. I've been worried about all the supply chain attacks on npm too. And I'm far from a security expert. However, if you're okay with installing binary packages via `curl somesite.com | sh` I don't think you are in a better position with regards to security.
- slowin 3mo agoSecurity is just one of my concerns. I'm actually more worried about borking my system because it's doing some out of band stuff with various javascript pieces that already exist on my system (not by my choice!).
- rbanffy 3mo agoI write command line tools primarily with Python and one thing I always try to do is to limit myself to the standard library, which, with Python, is quite sufficient for most of what I do. Anyway, most of what I write is designed to be installed in a virtualenv, which restricts the blast radius to one specific application.
- lavela 3mo agoAgree. If you really want to know what's used here: probably uses bun single-file executables[0] so shouldn't clash with anything else on your system. [0] https://bun.com/docs/bundler/executables https://bun.com/docs/bundler/executables
- grahammccain 3mo agoI don't think the finance field needs a better bloomberg, I think the whole interface and everything needs to be rethought. Part of the moat is the data, and data access. But I think we need to completely reimagine the terminal interface and interactions with the introduction of AI. The finance industry probably will be slow to adapt, but I genuinely think someone could completely disrupt 99% of the wall street businesses with an original idea.
- springtimesun 3mo agoMy observation is that finance and banking and corporate functions high enough up the ladder operate more like a clubhouse than cutthroat businesses. You’d think all you need to do is make a better interface, but if you’re not part of the club, you’re not doing the business (or even getting shot at it).
- cube00 3mo ago"It's a big club and you ain't in it."
- nancyminusone 3mo agoA large amount of the value is that you aren't allowed in.
- JumpCrisscross 3mo ago> Part of the moat is the data Not particularly. I don’t think Bloomberg has any super-proprietary data. It’s more like Excel. There is a command or two that is so weirdly niche specific that some user somewhere really needs. And it has a social network. Bloomberg, as it is, will probably work as long as humans are in the loop in trading financial assets.
- methodical 3mo agoBloomberg's moat is the messaging service within it, not it's aggregation of data
- hodder 3mo agoPeople repeat this rhetoric all the time, but I promise you, finance professionals can and do easily migrate to other messaging platforms such as ICE chat. This isn't a moat for BBG
- jeffbee 3mo agoEvidence for this being that BlackBerry Messenger and even AOL Instant Messenger had various amounts of traction during the lifetime of Instant Bloomberg.
- mistercheph 3mo agototal slop, who cares?
- dewey 3mo agoThere's many competitors these days, one that Shkreli always seems to use in his streams is https://godelterminal.com https://godelterminal.com (Not open source though).
- eudamoniac 3mo agoHe created that company I believe. I interviewed at Godel long ago and would probably have received an offer but he was convicted during the interview process and they paused hiring.
- dewey 3mo agoAh you are right, it's mentioned on the career page. I thought he might be an advisor there.

- mortenjorck 3mo agoAs someone whose trading is mostly based on vibes via Reuters, X, and the Apple Stocks app, this is a fun dip in the deep end. The tiling UI is quite sensible once you get the hang of it. The one thing I can't figure out is how to set a pane to change its ticker symbol based on the selected one in another pane. The default research panes do this, but I can't figure out how to set a new one to do it.
- bellowsgulch 3mo agoI'm a regular Joe, but finance screens seem like pure wank to me. If you work a desk in NYC, maybe it's a different story, and even then probably not, but if you're some bum nobody from LA with a little bit of money to throw around, there's absolutely nothing these things, or 6 simultaneous screens and an RGB PC case are going to tell you that give you some sort of long-term edge. Horoscopes for young impressionable men, along with Bitcoin and all sorts of crap, was the most articulate way I've heard it. As if technical analysis was worth more insight than pissing straight up looking for rain. Sure, it's wet.
